EXECUTIVE ORDERS NEWT GINGRICH WILL SIGN ON THE FIRST DAY
The first four Executive Orders President Newt Gingrich will sign are…
1. Eliminate the thirty-nine White House "Czar" positions created during the current administration. The president does not have the authority to appoint bureaucrats to power who are not accountable to the Congress.
2. "Mexico City Policy" of Respect for Life. Reauthorize President Ronald Reagan’s policy – also known as the "Mexico City Policy"— to stop tax payer dollars from being used to fund or promote abortions in foreign countries.
3. Restore conscience clause protections for Healthcare Workers. No American working in a medical environment should be forced to perform any procedure that he or she finds morally or ethically objectionable based on religious teaching. This protection should include, but not be limited to abortion. Existing conscience clause protections need to be strengthened.
4. Respect Each Sovereign Nation’s Choice of its Capital. Each sovereign nation, under international law and custom, may designate its own Capital. Accordingly, the U.S. State Department should be instructed to respect the choice of each sovereign nation and place the American embassy in their Capital. (Israel is the only country the United States discriminates against in this regard. The people of Israel have designated Jerusalem as their capital. Yet the United States retains its embassy in Tel Aviv.)

Day 1 Plan
Imagine it is 3:45 in the afternoon on January 20 2013, shortly after the Inaugural Address, and President Gingrich has just eliminated every White House czar with Executive Order Number One. That would be real change. What other Executive Orders should Newt sign to redirect government on that first day?

Day One of a Newt Gingrich Presidency
Presidents can begin turning things around very very quickly.
On the very first day a new President can begin to shift the focus and effectiveness of government by issuing Executive Orders. While the President cannot unilaterally change the law, in some cases he or she can dramatically interpret its execution and shift its effect. For instance, during Ronald Reagan's first week in office, he passed Executive Orders to deregulate the prices of oil and natural gas.
Newt has pledged to issue a series of Executive Orders to create jobs and help undo the damage of the Obama administration on the first day of his administration.
To harness the wisdom and knowledge of the American people, Newt is now collecting ideas for executive orders that he would sign on the first day. Newt.org will periodically release user submitted executive orders which will be added to the list he will sign on the first day of his presidency.
